Bvlgari Breaking Records With New Launches

Bvlgari Breaking Records With New Launches

Bvlgari watchmaking has established itself as a master of L’Estetica della Meccanica, fusing the soul of Italian design with the savoir faire of Swiss watchmaking.

OCTO FINISSIMO PERPETUAL CALENDAR

The Bvlgari Octo Finissimo has made its mark on the Haute Horlogerie landscape in a very short space of time. After exploring ultra-miniaturisation in the fields of the Grands Complications, suchas the minute repeater, chronograph and tourbillon, Bvlgari presents Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar, the slimmest in the world. This new record-breaker is available in two variations for the first time: the “signature” sandblasted titanium and a platinum version with blue dial.

Technical Specifications:

Movement

Mechanical automatic Manufacture movement, Calibre BVL 305 measuring just 2.75mm thick, indication of hours, minutes, retrograde date, day, month and retrograde leap year; 60-hour power reserve.

Case and dial

Sandblasted titanium case, 40mm in diameter, 5.80mm thick, sandblasted titanium crown with ceramic insert, transparent caseback; water-resistant to 30m. Sandblasted titanium dial, 0.3 mm thick.

Bracelet

Sandblasted titanium bracelet with folding clasp.

OCTO FINISSIMO TADAO ANDO

How can one construct and interpret time in the most refined way possible? Bvlgari and the Japanese architect Tadao Ando have attempted to provide an answer to this equation by creating the 160-piece Octo Finissimo Tadao Ando limited series. The Tadao Ando limited edition takes a minimalist approach to the theme of time on the deep blue lacquered dial. The time spiral is born and uncoils from the base of the seconds hand, while the gold crescent moon is positioned at 5 o’clock. In two essential graphic elements, Tadao Ando expresses his vision of time on a watch made from black ceramic and featuring a transparent caseback bearing the architect’s signature.

Technical Specifications:

Movement 

Mechanical automatic Manufacture ultra-thin Calibre BVL 138 with micro-rotor, hours, minutes and small seconds.

Case and dial

Black sandblasted ceramic case, bezel and crown, 40mm diameter, transparent caseback with laser-engraved Tadao Ando signature; blue lacquered dial with special pattern and yellow gold moon.

Bracelet

SERPENTI MISTERIOSI CLEOPATRA

Worthy of the Queen of the Nile herself, the Serpenti Misteriosi Cleopatra is the latest chapter in Bvlgari’s love affair with the iconic serpent, brought to life with an intense passion for gloriously bold combinations of coloured gemstones and a touch of majestic irreverence. Part of a new chapter in Bvlgari’s Colour Treasures series, this High-Jewellery, one-of-a-kind cuff watch showcases the Roman jewellery house’s expertise in gemstones, with a magnificently opulent and eye-catching new skin revealing a precious surprise: a diamond-set dial, hidden behind a faceted hexagonal see-through rubellite of over 5 carats. Only Bvlgari, the Master of Colour, could create such a harmony of brilliant gemstones in a new landmark watch that proudly joins the Colour Treasures series of spectacular jewellery-watch creations. With the arrival of the Serpenti Misteriosi Cleopatra, Bvlgari reaffirms its reputation as the Roman Jeweller of Time as it once again raises the bar in terms of both design and exquisite craftsmanship.

Technical Specifications: 18kt rose gold Serpenti Misteriosi High-Jewellery cuff watch made of hexagonal scales set with snow-set diamonds and decorated with 8 facetted hexagonal stones: 2 citrines (~5,70 cts, ~6,16 cts), 2 amethysts (~4,85 cts and ~6,81 cts), 1 aquamarine (~6,45cts), 1 tourmaline chrome (~4,59 cts), 1 tanzanite (~6,86 cts), 1 peridot (~8,81 cts). 20mm 18kt rose gold case holding a quartz movement and full pavé dial hidden behind a facetted hexagonal transparent rubellite (~5,06 cts).
